Abstract

We report a novel technique for simultaneous extraction of subgap donor- and acceptor-like density of states [gD(E) and gA(E)] over the subgap energy range (EV<E<EC) using a single-scan monochromatic photonic capacitance-voltage technique in n-channel amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistors. In the proposed technique, we applied two different equivalent circuit models for the photoresponsive carriers excited from gD(E) and gA(E) under depletion (VGS<V FB) and accumulation (V GS <V FB) bias by employing a sub-bandgap optical source that includes a relation between photon energy (E ph) and bandgap energy (E g) as h\nu=Eph<Eg.
